In Hinduism
Ayurveda (science of life)
Kalpa (Formulas, Drug prescriptions and other Medicinal preparations)
Source: Shodhganga: Edition translation and critical study of yogasarasamgrahaAruci refers to “anorexia” [in the Malayalam language] and represents one of the various diseases mentioned in the 15th-century Yogasārasaṅgraha (Yogasara-saṅgraha) by Vāsudeva: an unpublished Keralite work representing an Ayurvedic compendium of medicinal recipes. The Yogasārasaṃgraha [mentioning aruci] deals with entire recipes in the route of administration, and thus deals with the knowledge of pharmacy (bhaiṣajya-kalpanā) which is a branch of pharmacology (dravyaguṇa).

Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Aruci (अरुचि) refers to “anorexia” (i.e., “disturbed appetite”), mentioned in verse 4.8-11, 15, 17 and 5.30 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] From the suppression again of belching (result) anorexia [viz., aruci], tremor, oppression in the heart (region) and the chest, inflation, cough, and hiccup ; in this case the remedy (is) as in hiccup. [...] racking in the limbs, anorexia [viz., aruci], lassitude, emaciation, stitches, and giddiness (result from the restraint) of hunger. In this case light, fat, warm, and little food (is) to be taken. [...]”.
Note (verse 4.11): Some of the diseases have been named after their principal symptoms: aruci (“anorexia”) corresponding to yi-ga ’chus (“disturbed appetite”), kampa (“tremor”) to lus ’dar (“trembling body”), and vibandho hṛdayorasoḥ (“oppression in the heart region and the chest”) to sñiṅ daṅ braṅ ’gags (“oppressed heart region and chest”).
Note (verse 5.30): Instead of arucau the Tibetans apparently read something else. From 6.111 rucyam might be conjectured, which does not, however, fit the metre. In both cases the translation offers kha-zas len, which can only be understood from the context to mean “making (one) take food”, though a causative use of len-pa is not otherwise attested.
